Thanks mate....got it sorted now.....values 5 and 6 did it
[Desire HD Android Development] Halphas:
hi a user, i encountered some bad problems here this night with miui backup.

damn nightshift, got really bored this night and some kind of braindead too, i said to myself "hey, whats about the backup tool ? should i try if it works with this supersexeh after a full wipe installed 1.9.23v1.0 with manually reinstalled apps ?"

i try´d, it worked without a fc, but after it backup´d all of my apps+data+sys the screen went black, no problem at all i thought. but as i pressed the power button to switch the screen on, it doesnt work for a couple of minutes. only the hardwarebuttons are lightened, (it wasnt a restart) after that, the screen comes back and until that moment my sd-card is empty :eek:

the sd card dont work anymore, not even in my dhd, tested in my oldschool hero too, same thing, sd-card empty :eek:

so i lost all my data using the integrated backup :(

damn s**t, i don´t even get a con via usb to my pc :eek:

never had such a problem...

*edit: with my phone explorer i get a con between dhd <-> pc via W-Lan or bluetooth , but i dont´t get any access to my sd-card. can´t try a sd card reader, don´t have one. I´m really scared about formating it, to much sensible data....
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
uff....

the screen going off and when you press power button to turn it on your b uttons light up but the screen remains black for a while.... this is nothing uncommon if there is a high load io processing.

i have this every time i copy with file expert a big file over wlan from my pc to my dhd.

but you said you got that AFTER your backup fisnished? so there was still something working heavy. i fear this is difficult to reconstruct what actually happend there.

you could try booting to 4ext recovery and use there the feature to expose the sdcard to pc via usb.

this is very very strange. i know that the guys over at miui-germany are mostly using miui backup as their main backup procedure. so i tend to think that actually a fault on your sdcard caused this. but actually it is and probably will remain pure guessing.

from your post i assume you never did a backup of your sdcard, right?
[Desire HD Android Development] Halphas:
yup, got the blackscreen after the backup finished. the whole thing was very curious.

i´ll try to get the sd card via recovery, but i don´t see a good chance for that, because i can´t access it throu recovery, have tryed it before except the sd card expose thing feature, reporting back if it works or not.

well, i have secured the sd more or less, last backup is ~6 month´s old :headshot:

but the data on it is not that problem.

thx for now

cheers

/edit: testet via recovery, only option i get on pc is "you have to format before it can be used" or something like that. arf, i think the sd is screwed.
[Desire HD Android Development] AdrianM:
Go to recovery, Mount SD-Card, then use this application from SD Association to format it. Make sure your data cable is connected to PC and you run Windows or Mac OS.

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/

This worked for me when both my PC and phone told me that my sdcard was fu**ed up.
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
Halphas,

if you said that your sdcard contains lots of sensitive data, don't try to format it. Why don't you PM the dev/creator of 4EXT recovery (madmaxx82), I believe he's a German/in Germany, he's very busy but very nice & helpful person, tell him my nick (I used his 4EXT and somehow screwed up & panicked, he helped me out a great deal!).

as for stock backup app in MIUI, I never trusted it somehow. It has nothing to do with the ROM devs, as a user cooks very delicious ROMs, it's just sometimes MIUI is faulty from its source to begin with. My two cents though.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i admit that i also never trusted miuis backup. that's why i still am using titanium.

i think what adrianM wrote is your best guess if you can live without the data that has changed since your last backup. otherwise you need a card reader to start recovering data with sepcial tools.

btw. madmaxx82 (author of 4ext) is from austria ;) and indeed he is a very nice guy.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
ah just forgot:

i am this weekend with frieds away on a birthday trip (not mine). so i'll probably will cook the new release late sunday or monday.

sorry.
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Ok ok, have a good weekend but make sure you're in the kitchen first thing Monday morning :D ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
Yeah man enjoy your weekend!

One thing that I noticed today is that transfering stuff to my sd card is pretty slow on this rom compared to the Sense roms i used before. I have a class 4 sd card and normally i have speeds between 5-6mb/s but on MIUI I only have about 3mb/s.

Is there an explanation?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
promised! also maybe i am on it already sunday late evening/night.

i think i maybe have a little surprise for those that had issues with mobile data failing to reanable after phone disconnects itself from wlan. i finally had time to try something out i heard about.
[Desire HD Android Development] farinacci_79:
I've used only MIUI backup since I use this rom (custom or "stock") and I've never had any problem...

Otherwise, when I wipe my phone I make a MIUI backup and a CWR backup, but I've never used the second to restore anything...
[Desire HD Android Development] Pard0ned:
Yeah. Miui backup has ajwamg worked ok for me. I've never experienced anything bad happen!
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i had miui backup crashing several times during backing up for me on a previous version. it never made me a stabel impression.

also on miu-germany they strongly recomend to first restore programs then system settings. if this is indeed important than miui backup should do this on its own when you press "restore". anyway, i have a reliable method working, why risking by changing it.
[Desire HD Android Development] floepie:
I must say that this is the first base which reconnects to my wifi AP after leaving its broadcast area and returning to it. It's not immediate like the Sense ROMs did, but finally, I'm able to reconnect, although a bit reluctantly. Sometimes, I need to start fiddling around with the browser a bit in order to wake it up, but at least I don't have to pull the notification tab down and hold the wifi button to wake it up.

Maybe you can share what may be different in this base versus others? Could it be the CM7 kernel? This is the first MIUI ROM with the CM7 kernel I've tried, so I'm not comparing apples to apples I suppose.
[Desire HD Android Development] farinacci_79:
ALWAYS restore app first then system settings...

how can MIUI backup app restore some settings involved in some app that you have not restored yet?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
@farinacci_79 : i think you misunderstood me. i was not talking about apps settings. i said system settings must be restored after user apps (including their settings!).

@floepie: well, having stock kernel was one of the reasons i started this rom even though currently i do use lordmdo kernel. you could try lordmod z.2 cfs and see if your reconnection still works to exclude the kernel as reason.

beside of this as far as i know this is the only rom with really functional tweaked wifi/hsdpa/gprs etc. tcp buffers. all others that have tweaked them did it wrong, in the manner that the settings get lost as soon as the network type changes.

but i doubt this could be the reason.

did you had that issue with other miui bases? this would be strange as my changes regarding miui itself are very very small.(no custom miui rom did actually changed miui itself).
[Desire HD Android Development] farinacci_79:
Sorry, maybe we don't understand each other, sorry...

what I wanted say is that if in system settings backup I've something that "call" one the the app installed in the phone, the restore can be bad.

For example, I backup my desktop layout where there are a lot of app icons: if I restore system settings before app, the desktop layout restore can't be perfect...

So, the most important thing to remeber is that always we must restore app then settings

One thing that MIUI backup doesn't do (and Titanium yes) is to restore app without their settings: sometime can be nice to restore the app only as a fresh install. you can have the same result without restoring and install one more time from market, but you have to download it...

I think this is the only thing that I like in Titanium, for all MIUI backup is perfect.
[Desire HD Android Development] vespa.truccata:
@ Farinacci: How do you find radio 26.13.04.19 in Italy? Comparing with the 26.09.04.11 M2? I was very satisfied with the second one but after moving to Miui I have the impression that my signal isn't that strong as it used to be...

Is it true that with miui you don't have to choose a specific radio with every miui version, like with sense roms? (connection with ril)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
try 26.11... seems to be one of the best. 26.13 fails for some users, but works for others fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
A user, looking forward to your view on LorDs 7.3 kernel.

I always like a new rom/kernel combo come the weekend ;)

Sent by LeeDrOiD inspired SCI MiUi
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
yo, addblocking host file is back again. and i tweaked the cfs (schedular) for any cfs kernel. should improve performance when system is under load.
[Desire HD Android Development] Stitch15:
When not using the recommended radio, where do i get the corresponding ril? On xda i can only find a thread about sense rils. I don't think i can use these. Anyone who can help with this?
[Desire HD Android Development] Gtj94:
It's like a 'one size fits all' you can use them.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1040986
[Desire HD Android Development] Stitch15:
Ok, wasn't sure because in the thread they say the ril's are not for use on CM or MIUI rom's...
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
So far so good with the latest release.

Has dark theme been set as default? Or is it missing entirely?

Edit:

I've checked, it's missing.

But then it might as well be offered an extra, because it can be put in sdcard/miui/theme and save us downloading it with every update.

(If you have an old rom zip, you can extract it from there. System/media/theme)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
oh sorry. i think i will offer it as addon. so i do not miss it next time ;)

but a simple google search for "official miui dark theme" should help. it is a good idea anyway to get the latest if they change something.

p.s. currently uploading a new rom version. only minor changes regarding performance improvements. nothing dramatic, just some more small steps to the total sum ;)

so in the next minutes there should be v1.1 available for download.
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Cool, will download shortly then.

On a seperate note, Im looking for a screen off app/widget to use instead of having to use the power bar, or toggle 'lock'.

Someone did a widget but it's for the Evo

Someone else did an app for DHD but not working with MIUI.

Does anyone have suggestions.
[Desire HD Android Development] uafridi_1179:
Can I flash it over v0.6????
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
yes.

10chrs

edit: i see you are from pakistan. if you intend to flash a appropriate language pack over my rom i suggest you first link me to it. it works but depending on what it changes some of my tweaks can get lost. so i could fix that for you.

same for anybody btw. ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Downloading 1.1 now

Any known issues apart from theme manager, Is the backup working?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
backup app seems to not work. i have not much tme to experiment with fixes. if you come across something reliable i would make an addon out of it. otherwise we wait for the next week miui update ;)

p.s. guys let me know if you notice performance or smoothnes improvements over v0.6 or v1.0 with my latest version v1.1

shouldn't be much and it depends on situations but if you observe something let me know :D

EDIT: you can try downloading it from my public wuala directory. maybe it is faster. don't know for sure.
[Desire HD Android Development] uafridi_1179:
Thanks alot buddy.....but I don't use anything with ur rom....I use it the way it is .....I like it that way......

Thanks again...
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
nice to hear that ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Haven't installed 1.1 yet but did a full clean wipe and install of 1.0 yesterday. Today I used Google navigation and GPS dropped every couple of minutes and would not reconnect. I had to exit navigation open it again it would be GPS lock instant. This only happens with Miui, with leedroid never any problems. It was a full clean wipe and SD card format so should be no need to clean any partitions should there.
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
gps drop lock is happening on google maps and it's here since last version of maps...
[Desire HD Android Development] oluwaponmile:
You can get the backup.apk file from previous release, it works. Just push it to /system/app via adb
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i know that it basically works but what makes me sceptical about this is that the available settings did changed. hence i am not sure if it does not messes things up sometimes.

i woukd suggest to avoid using it until it has been officially been fixed.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
+1 this a known google maps issue. nir only onthis rom and neither onky on miui. happense one of the latest maps version.
[Desire HD Android Development] fuzzbeans:
That is really fantastic. I hope these are the correct files, I would love to try out MIUI in Danish, if you would be so kind. =)

There is a Danish translation project for MIUI here(http://crowdin.net/project/miui-rom-translation/da), it seems to be 100% finished despite what the page says. (I have been looking through the crowdin API to check, and they seem like perfectly acceptable translations.)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
well i need the danish language pack for DHD. it is possible to just take the language xml files but this needs quite some work and time. i check out if i can get the multilanguage pack from xj working which i think also includes danish.
[Desire HD Android Development] kitecarl:
So a general question for anyone obsessed with battery like I am-what's everyone's general Screen On voltage use? On my commute home I generally have Spotify music playing in offline mode, Tapatalk open either reading or posting, and possibly JustReader catching up on rss feeds. With these and manual screen brightness I am showing voltage in the high 300s, sometimes 4, which causes quite a dent in my battery considering an hour long commute. Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
Your numbers, mid-hi 300 to occasional 400 seems to be normal with screen on and apps you mentioned.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

A very brief observation with LMUE 7.3 CFS on SCI MIUI resulted me jumping back to the 7.2. ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Halphas:
@ adrianm and bumaround: thx to both of you for your help. i found a forgotten backup of my sd that´s ~4 weeks old, nearly all sensible data was contained in this backup, so it looks like that i´m a lucky brainless bastard. :D

i don´t know why i made this backup in the past, but well, some luck is all you sometimes need :rolleyes:

the sd card is functional after formating, and i put no sensible things on it the next few weeks. I´ll see if it´s happening again.

@ a user: i never used miui backup before, just tried it out because i got really bored at work. normally i ever using titanium. well.... normally. backing up with miui backup was not for backup in real, only for testing. ah well, it´s all good again, thx to all of you again. :)

cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
Lesson learned:

Getting (excessively) bored at work is hazardous, but even a brainless bastard gets lucky sometimes, ehem, with his backup files.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
halphas: are you undervolting and or overclocking? i mean no matter what miui backup does it shouldn't be possible to **** up the sd card to not being usable anymore.

miui backup uses normal read/write operations on the filesystem and no low level operations.

so i doubt the issue was caused by the backup app. maybe you should run something that is stressing you cpu for about 30min non stop and see if you get issues to verify your system is stable.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
am currently testing 7.3 btw.

burnaround: what was your issue with 7.3?
[Desire HD Android Development] floepie:
I only have experience with the US and UK bases using Mr Garak's ROMs, but neither re-connected with my AP unless I woke up the wifi settings by long-pressing on the wifi icon on the notification pull down. I never really had to power cycle the wifi radio, so this was only a minor inconvenience. I will replace the kernel and power cycle my wifi router to see if it reconnects to rule out the kernel.
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
I rarely have values over 200mah. Btw this has nothing to do with voltage. If you use current widget you can press on it to cycle to see current voltage.

3g traffic and screen brightness have a huge impact on drain. With low brightness and wlan i sometimes have below 100mah. I only have 300+ with 3g and high brightness or while gaming.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
tell me what you discovered. and if it is indeed the kernel you need to talk to lord clockan. he is a bit bussy at the moment but i bet he will want to fix that. if you are willing to help with beta testing he will fix it.

he also fixed an issue i found once and we had a 5 day beta testing party ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
@clouds5 : you are basically right but you seem to have overlooked the apps he mentioned where running at the same time. with them it is quite normal to have such a high drain, at least possible.

most of them i never used so i can't tell for sure, but i had a similar scenario with similar drain.

and the voltage plays quiit a big role if the main drainer is cpu usage.
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
You're right of course :) I was just answering his question what kind of drain others have while screen on.

As I understand it our battery has 4.2V when fully charged and slowly gets lower while drained to something like 3.2V when the phone shuts itself off. You can check the current voltage of the battery with "current widget".

Of course voltage on the CPU is a whole other story and has an impact on drain.

btw: Bist du eigentlich auch deutschsprachig? :) Glaube mal in einem anderen Forum einen deutschen post von dir gesehen zu haben^^
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
jap, lebe in deutschland ;)

p.s. @all : lord clockans new kernel 7.3 has an improved version of the deadline io scheduler. if you are using this kernel i recomend this scheduler for internal and external memory (set it with my systune app). i made some tests and it beats any other scheduler, even the by me previously recomended noop one.
[Desire HD Android Development] vespa.truccata:
Testing it for a while and I love it very much! Can't believe that day by day this ROM is getting even better!!! Thanks to you and Lord also! :)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
my contribution is rather small. thank more the miui devs. i do not have done more than some tweaking and giving support and tips.
[Desire HD Android Development] Halphas:
lol :D

erm no, using the standart settings that comes with a fresh install. running as always smooth enough for me.
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
Is there a systune version of the 7.3 kernel yet?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
What do you mean? Systune works for any kernel.
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
I mean your special version:

"This Versions differ from LorD ClockaN's release by not including a modified libsqlite.so which is not needed and only negates any usefull changes done by the miui team."
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
Ahhhhhh. Not needed third time. 7.3 does not have it. But now that you mention I will relink it in my op.
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
As I said before, I've only tried 7.3 CFS beta 2 for a short 3-4 hours while, and jumped back to 7.2 CFS. Why? Battery, I think.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
Ah. The betas of 7.3 were not for miui. Cm7 had new audio driver that do not need the drain fix in the kernel anymore. thus you got drain due to the removed fix in the kernel.

That's why there is now a dedicated miui version for 7.3
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
just saw there is a MIUI version in the kernel thread. Nevermind.
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
OK, betas 7.3 are not for the MIUIs, how about the official 7.3 CFS posted on first post?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
as i said and as lord clockn explecitly says in his thread at the downloads, there is a dedicated 7.3 miui version ;)

it already omits libsqlite and still contains the drain fix.
[Desire HD Android Development] thermskin:
Hi a user ;-)

MIUI 1.9.30 is out :-D

S.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i'll cook a v0.5 soon, if the download finishes in the next hours ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] floepie:
I took your advice and flashed the lordmod kernel, and there is no change to the wifi connection behavior. I can only conclude that that the wifi module in this base is superior, at least from my perspective, to that in the other bases.

In what files are these wifi settings tweaked, as you say? It's almost as if the other bases fall asleep and forget to re-connect to any known wifi APs. I'd like to pinpoint what is going on between these ROMs and why for so long that the other ones haven't worked until this one.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
the wifi module is built into the kernel.

my changes regarding tcp buffers etc. to improve speed are in /system/etc/sysctl.conf and in /system/etc/init.d/20tcptweaks

did you tried other miui roms with the same base version?

p.s. regarding v0.5 version. am waiting for 4way reboot mod. if it is not available untill i have to leave i'll release it without the mod.
[Desire HD Android Development] floepie:
As far as I'm aware, you're the only one using the German base, correct?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
SCI MIUI 1.9.30v0.5 up...

... in a few minutes. it is currently uploading and at 60%. give it 5min.

as always v0.x is a pre-release version with only english. if i forgot something tell me ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
yes. but my v0.x version are mostly using miuiandroid.com and sometimes miui.us.
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
I'm gonna be a real ***** and asking when you will release the german version :D I'm going to Italy on sunday and was wondering if I could go with the new version :) No big deal if its not rdy till then though. Guessing it all depends on when Miui_germany releases its version?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i am away over the weekend. i think i will be back on sunday and should be able to release the v1.0 version at sunday but later that day. so it could be close for you.

edit: miui-germany usually releases their version on saturday late evening.

i know how it feels to be flash addicted ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
:D ah gotta let go! We're leaving early sunday morning. Its no problem i dont have any serious issues anyway and if something comes up i still got my backup from a perfect sense rom.

So lets enjoy our free time :)
[Desire HD Android Development] pockobg:
So can i update without a full wipe?

Sent from my MIUI loaded Desire HD
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
yep as always... ;)

if a full wipe will once be a must do i will note so.
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
this is with or without 4way reboot mod, m8?
